Summary

Sky View Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Peoria, Arizona, part of the Peoria Unified School District. With a declining student population of 535 in the 2022-2023 school year, Sky View has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in academic measures, ranking in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools.

Sky View Elementary School's academic performance is a concern, with only 29% of 4th graders, 22% of 5th graders, 36% of 7th graders, and 31% of 8th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 51%, 41%, 49%, and 39% for the district, respectively.

The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 471 out of 955 schools in 2014-2015 to 749 out of 904 schools in 2023-2024, a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Interestingly, when compared to nearby Desert Harbor Elementary School, which is only 1.59 miles away, Sky View Elementary consistently underperforms in academic measures and has a lower statewide ranking.

Thursday, August 5, 2021

First day of school ms. Homs 1st grade teacher cannot tell me where she sent my 6yr old at the end of the day. Mind you my son who is in her class sits right in front of her desk. For 30 minutes she gave me the run around maybe he’s in the cafeteria maybe he got on the bus maybe he’s around the corner . A 6 yr was directed to follow a man in blue who he had not known and ended up at parent pick in the sun crying on a 115degree day . FOR 30+MINUTES! Not to mention how casual the staff was acting as I’m running thru the school in and out of busses in and out of the office trying to find my son! Acting as if I’m crazy ! Close Quote
